Landscapes with Figures is a 1500 unspecified by Shūgetsu Tōkan, a Ming Painting work, depicting Muromachi Period, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two tall, narrow scenes side by side. Both have a dark border on top and bottom with a gold pattern in between. The left scene shows a bare tree on a rocky shore with waves crashing below. The right scene has a small hut near water, with pine trees and a mountain in the distance. The colors are mostly gray, brown, and gold. Notice how the artist uses simple lines and soft shading to show depth. The trees and buildings look almost like sketches, but the details are precise. If you like this style, look up muromachi period.
Shūgetsu Tōkan (1450–1510) was a Japanese artist, born in Mizuhiki-chō.
